All confidence has been lost in Victoria Gold's response to the #EagleMineDisaster, but containment and treatment is still in their unreliable hands. The Yukon government needs to step up and bring justice. The time to act is now.

We're excited to check this out. Wetlands in the Yukon are shaped by generations of Indigenous stewardship and protection, making them incredibly diverse and important ecosystems for people, birds, and other animals!
We are proud to announce the launch of the Yukon Wetland Field Guide, an essential resource designed to increase understanding and conservation of the region's unique and valuable wetlands. 🧵 Order your copy today, or download a digital version at https://t.co/NKraeuxVCW

There's quite a few #Yukon birds that would definitely win gold!

📣There must be an independent AND public inquiry of Victoria Gold's Eagle Mine heap leach #failure. An unsettling picture is emerging of overconfidence and repeated violations, along with an overly #permissive regulatory system from Yukon govt. We need answers. We need change.
